About this project

Post Apocalyptic Nick has been a joy to work on for the creative team: Tom Kurzanski, the artist. Christian Beranek, co-writer and myself, Tony DiGerolamo, co-writer. We've had so much fun with the twists and turns of the story.

Post Apocalyptic Nick: End of the World Edition will be a 60 page full color self contained graphic novel starring Nick Surrey, a hipster
sales rep from New Jersey on a business trip in California. His
marriage was on the verge of falling apart when suddenly his hotel collapsed
and the world ended. Now he's trying to get cross country with practically
no survival skills. Along the way he meets insane cops, radioactive
zombies, strange truckers, legless strippers and mutant birds. The book is full of pop culture references to some of your favorite apocalyptic movies.

Post Apocalyptic Nick has loads of extras including new strips, character designs and behind-the-scenes look at how the story came to be. The 107 strip story is completely done and ready to go and that's where
you come in! We need your help. We have listed to the right some great
rewards. In addition to the book, buttons and a t-shirt we have included
an Apocalypse Survival Pack! There's also an opportunity to discuss the
process of making webcomics via a Skype conference with the team.

We have a vision of a sweet comic book, full of extras and awesome art, but we need your help! Christian is putting her amazing marketing skills to the test, Tom is churning out the art and I am just your humble website scribe keeping the posts going on The Webcomic Factory. This is our first KS project off the Webcomic Factory and we're psyched to make it happen. All we need is you!

Stretch Goals!

And new incentives!

Risks and challenges

The artwork is completed. The only thing we need to do is finish the bonus material. All we really need is money. Christian, Tom and Tony all have experience doing previous print projects, t-shirts and everything listed in the project.

Christian previously ran her own comic book publishing company called Silent Devil, which produced a variety of print comics including Dracula vs. King Arthur, which she co-created with her brother. Christian wrote a variety of print comics at Silent Devil. Later, she work for several comic book publishers in Los Angeles and co-created Kingdom Comics for Disney. Christian is currently working on a variety of graphic novels, including several projects on the Webcomic Factory, which she co-founded with Tony in 2010.

Tom Kurzanski is an illustrator whose artistic body of work includes Antigone (Silent Devil), Sasquatch, Karma Incorporated, and Legends of the Middle-Man (Viper), the Comic Book Project (Dark Horse & Columbia Teachers College), and You Can Do Cartoon Voices, Too! (Sunday Learning Series). He's also known to do some awesome t-shirt designs at Teefury, Shirtpunch, the Yetee and Redbubble.

Tony started his own comic book publishing company called South Jersey Rebellion Productions to publish his creator-owned comics (Jersey Devil, The Travelers, The Fix). He later moved The Travelers to Kenzer & Company worked with the gaming company for several years writing comics and games. Along the way, he met Christian and worked as the Marketing Director for Silent Devil, as well as writing for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Comedy Central's Indecision website and The Simpsons comics at Bongo. He co-founded the Webcomic Factory with Christian in 2010.
